Everything that needs to be said has already been said about this topic, I just can't resist getting my $0.02 in. Way back when, when I was a lad and milk was delivered to the door we used to haul horses in the back of pickup trucks and pull horse trailers behind 2door Chevy sedans with 235's and a 2spd. powerglide tranny (and a "real" bumper hitch that was actually ON the bumper). Push mower ment a reel type w no motor at all! Ah, men were men. But back to the topic. You can pull a house with a lawn mower if you have thr right transmission, the trick is getting it stopped. First rule, your trailer weight should never exceed the loaded weight of the towing vehicle i.e. if your truck empty weight is 5000# and your tongue weight is 750# the trailer weight (that is the weight on the trailer axles) should not excede 5750#. Thats all fine in theory but if your going to pull any more than a row boat on a two wheel trailer a goose neck is the only way to go. Get the weight on the rear axles, its much safer when the trailer tries to push you and it will. Secondly slow down, 60 is plenty for anyting that doesn't have air brakes, and preferably, jake brakes. Of course I pull horses and they just HATE to trailer. Well that should be way more than you wanted to know, just had to jump in.
